Wyeside leisure village featured in Sex Education TV hit on market for £6.75m

THE sale of the Symonds Yat East leisure village is being described as “a once in a generation opportunity”.

The seven acre site featured on Netflix TV hit Sex Education is on the market for £6.75 million with Christie and Co.

The sale includes The Royal Lodge Hotel, Wye Rapids House, The Saracens Head Inn, The Weir House, along with two pay and display car parks.

It is being sold after being in the same ownership for 35 years.

The 26-bed Royal Lodge Hotel is described as “immaculately presented” and is a popular venue for weddings.

Outline planning permission was granted by Herefordshire Council in September 2024 to demolish a modern extension and create a further 22 en-suite rooms.

Wye Rapids House, next to the Royal Lodge Hotel, is described as “a delightful” 12-bedroom property with a one-bedroom apartment standing in 1.9 acres adjacent to The Royal Lodge Hotel.

Eleven of the 12 rooms are en-suite and it is most commonly used as standalone holiday let.

Also within the grounds is the entrance to the old railway tunnel under Yat Rock.

The agents say: “It’s a versatile property for an array of uses.”

The Weir House was previously known as Rose Cottage and is a four-bedroom three-storey self-catering property.

The Saracens Head has nine bedrooms and offers award-winning food.

Christie and Co say: “A real once-in-a-generation opportunity to own a highly profitable leisure village in one of the UK’s most picturesque AONB (Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty).

“The current owners have had stewardship of the village for 35 years and have built an enviable reputation and highly profitable businesses in a unique setting that cannot be replicated.

“There are multiple income streams on-site, from pay and display car parking to food and drink and hotel accommodation.
